Getting rid of the Martians was not so easy as they came in large numbers and brought their entire military arsenal. They were also incredibly well-nourished, more than they ever had been on Mars, thanks to the calcium marphondulate in the plethora of shark bones which were now available to them. They could not be fended off with military force, even with the Earthling army’s extensive experience fighting off alien intruders, because the Earthlings had never fought off an army so strong before.
Sweetthing knew there was nothing she could do but take away the source of the Martians’ incredible strength, but she did not want to harm the shark population or cause their extinction in doing so.
